came across it searching for nintendo labador game. does anyone know where i will get one from???

thanks dorry

£149.99? what a ripoff, the pack is only worth £99, and Argos and Toyrus are both throwing free gits in as well.

Maybe we could call trading standards over their "Currys - Always lowering prices" logo at the top of that webpage!

I would have done the same as you so dont worry about anyone giving you grief

I spent about two weeks sweating on getting a pink DS for my little girl...

I'd like to know if anyone who is desperate for a pink DS thinks it is ok to reserve one at Argos without intending to buy it.

The thing is, has I already pointed out, I sat one night trying in vain to get one in any part of the country where I or a friend could pick one up. In doing that it may well have meant that I had several reservation codes. I would have used the most convenient store and posted the other codes here to help other MSE users. If no-one took them up then the goods go back in stock at Argos ready for someone else to either buy or use the ring and reserve.

So, no I don't have a problem with it as the intention when making the reservation was to buy from that store at that time.

I look on this site as a bit like a community, so if i could help somebody on here get a nintendogs by reserving one, then pm them the number i would and as previously mentioned if nobody took me up it would go back in stock.

I do understand what you are saying, I assume that if you hadnt got one you wouldnt accept a reservation number from somebody on here because you feel it is so wrong.

We're all here to advise and help each other out. I'm trying to locate a blue DS and would be thrilled if another MSE'r managed to track a spare one down and PM'd me a reservation number. If I ever manage to get hold of one myself, I would also try to do the same.

That's what makes this site so great - the community spirit, and willingness to help each other out, without personal gain.

Hi all!

Like many of you I have been searching for a pink bundle for my little girl for the last few weeks. Finally, I had a "back in stock" mail from Argos last week end (already posted here) and ordered with relief, got a confirmation with a Monday delivery too. In the meantime I receive calls from friends but say I'm ok and don't need one any more. I even saw 5 in Woolworth but did not buy any as mine was coming,then this morning tragedy!!! Argos deliveres no.1 BOP IT but no nintendo and after hanging on to their cs line they tell me they won't be sending one....!!!!

What do I do now? Any ideas...help! :santa2:

Personally I would phone a couple of Woolworths every morning... They seem top have a steady stream coming in regularly from a central warehouse...

Last case scenario will be eBay if you haven't found one by the end of the week.

Can you say roughly what area you live in and everyone can keep a look out .
https://www.currys.co.uk have them in stock but at £149.99 they are really taking the p***. There are free delivery codes and discounts here if you get desperate.
